Make sure these tasks are complete before performing the procedure.Read, understand, and perform these tasks1. [ ] Table 1 lists tasks, cautions, warnings, notes, knowledgebase (KB) solutions, and Top 10 ServiceTopics that you need to be aware of before performing this activity. Read, understand, and when necessary perform any tasks contained in this table and any tasks contained in any associatedknowledgebase solution.Table 1 List of cautions, warnings, notes, KB solutions, and Top 10 Service Topics for thisactivityService Provider, Project Information and Customer Contact formThis form is automatically populated based on the information that is provided in the VxRail® Procedure Generator questionnaire prior to generating the procedure. This information is collected and used for reference purposes when referring back to this procedure at a later date and time.Section 2:Section 3:VxRail Reset ProcedureThese instructions describe how to reset the VxRail Appliance using the Factory Reset Script which returns the appliance to a first run state but leaves the underlying software load unchanged. The reset script can be executed in the field by a VxRail Appliance reseller, distributor, or EMC CSE.Use this process to reset between demonstrations or moves between customer sites for evaluation.The reset script takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, however if there are environmental problems (network connectivity, i.e.) it can fail.The unit must be in an otherwise healthy state, connected to the network and functioning for the reset script to be used.Attention:The reset script tool will wipe all data and defined User VMs from the appliance. If the customer wants to keep their data or VMs, they must back them up prior to running the tool.Always use the latest VxRail Reset tool for the factory reset function based on your model of VxRail. Warnings and Disclaimers•Reset destroys all virtual machines and datastores in your VxRail Cluster. VMs on mounted datastores that you don’t want the reset to delete should be unregistered.prior to executing the reset.The process cannot be interrupted and there are no data recovery options available once the Reset starts.•The Reset script and documentation may only be utilized by properly trained personnel.•The Reset script and documentation are only available to properly trained engineering, support, and sales organizations.•The Reset script and documentation must not be provided to anyone who is identified as a direct end-user of a VxRail product.•The Reset script and documentation must be removed from the customer’s appliance and premises after Reset is performed by qualified personnel.Note: Reset script 4.0.100 is required for all VxRail appliances with Release 4.0.100 software. Intended Audience:This procedure is intended to be used by QEP Distribution Partners and VARs performing POC demos. This Procedure is not to be used on production systems!Materials Required:From the website, download the reset package:•File Name: v4.0.100_reset.zip•MD5Sum: 966d86f7ef0b9b02445bcb06eb263dcbWARNING: This procedure deletes all data on the system. It should never be used on a production system.Reset ProcedureReset restores an appliance to factory settings. It uses the original software images and the factory-created backup file to restore your appliance:/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/images,/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/reset/configBundle.tgzPrerequisites• A workstation/laptop with a web browser is required. It must be either plugged into the 10GbE switch or able to logically reach the VxRail management VLAN on the 10GbE switch.Note: This PC must be able to access both the pre-reset and post-reset VLANs and IP Addresses. •The VxRail appliance must have all software images and the configBundle.tgz file on the service datastore.•The document assumes you are familiar with the VxRail Setup Guide, the VxRail Product Guide, vSphere Web Client usage, and ESXi usage (DCUI/CLI).•All ESXi hosts must have the same version of both the ESXi and VxRail VIB on them. Preparing for ResetWARNING: To prevent a possible issue with the decompression of the software bundle, EMC recommends that the upgrade bundle is decompressed using a 3rd party decompression utilitysuch as WinZip. Windows Explorer decompression may have difficulty handling large files resulting in file corruption.1. [ ] Download reset bundle v4.0.100_reset.zip from the EMC Support Zone website to VxRailworkstation/laptop.Note: All files can be found in bundle with name v4.0.100_reset.zip from the VxRail Support page on https:///downloads. EMC Highly recommends that all files be verified using the md5 sum for each ova file to ensure integrity.2. [ ] On the VxRail workstation/laptop, uncompress it into a folder that you can browse, such asC:\reset or /tmp/reset. This archive contains:•Reset script: consisting of two python scripts: reset.pyc and gen_ovfenv.pyc •reset.pyc is in the package reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip.•You should uncompress it first in order to get the reset script.•The v4.0.100_reset.zip bundle contains three files:•reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip•Python-2.7.8.msi•VMware-viclient-all-6.0.0-3562874.exe•Python libraries: pyVim and pyVMomiPython 2.7 is required for Reset. Python 2.6 will fail. If necessary, python 2.7.8 is recommended and includes the install exe for installation on your VxRail Management workstation/laptop.The Reset script is backwards compatible with all versions of VxRail so users should update to the latest version of the reset script. If previous versions of Python are installed on the managementworkstation, those versions should be uninstalled first and Python v2.7 installed.3. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.4. [ ] (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client, go to the Marvin-Virtual-SAN-Datastore. Click on Manageand then Files. Delete the ISO and UPGRADE directories. DO NOT delete any directories named witha UUID.5. [ ] For each VxRail host in the VxRail cluster, identify the IP address assigned to the factory-createdVMkernel management interface (vmk0) in one of the following ways:a. The IP address is displayed in the vSphere Web Client (use vcserver to locate the networkinformation for the VMkernel adapter on each ESXi host)orb. The IP address is displayed in DCUI (console user interface for ESXi)orc. ssh into each ESXi host (or connect a console or monitor via BMC) and run the esxcli networkip interface ipv4 get command on each host. The username is root. Use the password for the ESXi hosts that was set during VxRail Initial Configuration. (For an un-configured VxRail appliance, the password is Passw0rd!) The output will be similar to what is shown below:esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get | grep "vmk0"vmk0 MARVIN Management IPv4 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.25500:25:90:eb:bc:0a 1500 65535 true STATICOn an un-configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are either assigned by DHCP (if it was available in your network) or configured as IPv4 link-local addresses (starting with 169.254.x.y). On a configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are specified by the user who set up the appliance.6. [ ] Fill in the IPv4 address of each ESXi host in the cluster (use additional space if there is more thanone appliance in a cluster):Host IPv4 AddressESXi host on node 1ESXi host on node 2ESXi host on node 3ESXi host on node 47. [ ] From the VxRail workstation/laptop, verify that you can ping each IPv4 addressNote: If you cannot access a host, try power-cycling the node first.8. [ ] Use vSphere Client to login vCenter Server to check current Management VLAN as below:Figure 1 Example: the management VLAN ID in this appliance is 117Note: If you cannot access vCenter Server, you will have to ask the customer for the management VLAN ID.Running ResetReset is run from the VxRail workstation/laptop, using the options described in the Reset Command Options section. Before running Reset, be sure to read the section on Best Practices and Troubleshooting so that you can use the Reset script correctly.Note: Using the --vlan option for Reset is recommended even if current management VLAN is not set ( in this case, use 0 for VLAN ID). It will modify the management VLAN ID saved in configBundle first before actually using the configBundle. It simplifies initial setup because the management VLAN ID is configured on all 4 ESXi hosts. Likewise, the --initialIpAddress,--initialSubnet, and --initialGateway options also simplify initial setup.Another benefit comes when a VxRail appliance is reset and remains in the same environment (I.e. It is not relocated to another network). In this case, retaining the management VLAN ID and initial IP information during a reset permits the VxRail Manager workstation/laptop to remain set for the correct VLAN and IP. If these options are not used, the instructions in the VxRail SetupGuide can be followed at a later time.If the VLAN option is not used, no changes will be made to the Management VLAN settings. It will remain exactly as previously set.All appliances and nodes in a VxRail cluster should be reset if one appliance or node needs to be reset. Use the following procedure:•If you have more than one appliance in your VxRail cluster, reset each secondary appliance, one at a time. We recommend that the secondary appliances be reset in the order in which they were added to the cluster. Power off all nodes after each appliance is reset.•If you only have one appliance in the VxRail cluster, or when you have finished resetting and shutting down all secondary appliances, reset the primary appliance.Example using Reset on Windows1. [ ] To reset the appliance use the following command:Example:C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -d --destroyAllVMs -f <IPv4_node1> -a <IPv4_node2> -a <IPv4_node3> -a <IPv4_node4> --vlan <vlan_id>[ --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr> --initialSubnet=<init_netmask>--initialGateway=<init_gateway> ]After ResetNote: The password is now Passw0rd! for all ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, and VxRail Manager.1. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.2. [ ] Point a browser to the VxRail Manager user interface to begin VxRail initial configuration followingthe instructions in “VxRail Initial Configuration” in the VxRail Setup Guide. The location is one of the following:<init_IPaddr>specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option supplied to Resetorhttps://192.168.10.200, the default value for ResetIf you cannot reach VxRail at one of these IP addresses after Reset, follow the instructions in AppendixA to configure another initial IP address.Reset Command OptionsBest Practices and TroubleshootingResetting Clusters with Multiple AppliancesIf you want to restore a multi-appliance VxRail cluster:After performing initial configuration on the primary appliance in the VxRail cluster, power on and configure each secondary appliance, one at a time. The primary appliance will discover each secondary appliance when it is powered on. Then you will add it to the cluster before continuing with the next secondary appliance. For more information, including configuring the Management VLAN, see the VxRail Setup Guide, “Adding Appli ances to a VxRail Cluster”.If you want to separate the appliances into multiple VxRail clusters:When you run Reset on each appliance, assign a unique <init_IPaddr> with the ‘--initialIpAddress’option. Then point your browser to each <init_IPaddr> and run VxRail initial configuration to create separate VxRail clusters.Reset Output: Example output of Successful reset:Reset succeeds with INFO and WARNING output similar to the following:c:\Python27\python.exe reset.py -d --destroyAllVMs -f 10.10.10.11 --initialIpAddress=10.10.10.250 --initialSubnet=255.255.254.0--initialGateway=10.10.10.253 -a 10.10.10.12 -a 10.10.10.13 -a 10.10.10.14 Post-configuration Password:INFO Primary node supplied: 10.10.10.11 INFO Secondary node supplied:10.10.10.12 INFO Secondary node supplied: 10.10.10.13 INFO Secondary nodesupplied: 10.10.10.14INFO MARVIN VIB 3.x discovered on hostsVxRail 3.x WARNING================================================WARNING THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CURRENTLY REGISTERED VIRTUAL MACHINES:WARNING ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight'] WARNING CONTINUING WILL DESTROY ALL VIRTUAL MACHINES REGISTERED WITH THE APPLIANCE.CONFIRM (YES/NO): YESWARNING DESTROYING ALL VMs ON 10.10.10.11: ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight']…INFO Host 10.10.10.11 has VMs [] remaining.

If it does not complete successfully on all nodes in an appliance, it can be rerun just on the node(s) that did not reset properly.Infrequently, Reset can report a failure but eventually succeed. This can happen if an ESXi host takes longer to reboot than the 720-second timeout in Reset. The ESXi node can still continue to boot and it may finally succeed. You can determine whether or not an ESXi host was successfully reset by attempting to login in via ssh or DCUI. The password should have been reset to Passw0rd!If you cannot login with this default password, the host was NOT reset properly. Run Reset again only on the host that did not boot successfully.Another reason that Reset could fail is if the IPv4 address for vmk0 does not match the information saved in configBundle.tgz. This would happen if ESXi was assigned a static IP address instead of link-local DHCP after configBundle.tgz was created, but before initial configuration. The failure message displayed would indicate failure to connect to all hosts.Usin g the ‘--onlyRegeneratePrimary’ option will quickly redeploy the service VMs.Note: Since you have already reset the appliance, the default password, Passw0rd!, must be used instead of your original password.C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -f <IPv4_node1>--onlyRegeneratePrimary --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr>--initialSubnet=<init_netmask> --initialGateway=<init_gateway>The reasons that Reset can fail include the following:•Failing to connect to or locate a specified ESXi host•Using an invalid IPv4 address as Reset command options•Having a proxy server configured on the VxRail workstation/laptop•Failing to deploy the Log Insight VM or VxRail Manager•Still failing after several automatic retriesKnown IssuesIf you have a typo on the Reset command line, such as using a space instead of ‘=’ in the option/value pairs that require one (--initialIpAddress, --initialSubnet, --initialGateway), all 3 options will be ignored. (e.g--initialIpAddress=10.10.10.200 is correct; --initialIpAddress 10.10.10.200 is incorrect) If Reset otherwise succeeds, you can follow the instructions in Appendix A to set the initial IP address.Appendix A: VxRail Appliances with a Custom Initial IP address WARNING: The following steps are to configure a custom IP address for initial access to VxRail if you cannot use the <init_IPaddr> specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option or the default IP address, 192.168.10.200.Note: You are setting the IP address for the VxRail Manager in Release 4.0.1. [ ] Connect the vSphere (C#) Client to the IP address of ESXi host 1 using the root user and thepassword that Reset configured during ESXi software installation, Passw0rd!2. [ ] Click the Virtual Machines tab and select “VxRail Manager”. The VM should already be poweredon. If not, click the green play button to power it on and wait for it to boot.3.

To avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment, do not attempt to lift and install the enclosure into a rack without a mechanical lift and/or help from another person.a. On each slide rail, bring the ball bearing retainer assembly fully to the front, so it rides onto thesecurity knob.b. From the front of the cabinet, align the inner rails attached to the server, with the white plasticguide block on the front inside of each slide rail.Figure 7 Aligning the inner rail with white plastic guide block Note: When installing the server in the cabinet, do not pick the server up by its power/control modules and do not push on its power/control modules. These modules are on either side of the front of the server.c. From the front of the cabinet, align the inner rails, attached to the server, with the white plasticguide block on the front inside of each slide rail.d. Slide the server into the cabinet so the inner rail extends over the plastic guide blocks and the firstpart of the ball bearing retainer assemblies.e. Once the inner rails properly engage with the ball bearing retainer assemblies, push the serverinto the cabinet until the slide rails engage and lock.An audible click indicates that the slide rails are engaged and locked.f. On the outside of each rail assembly, slide the blue disconnect tab forward to unlock the server,and push the server completely into the cabinet.Figure 8 Inserting the server in the cabinetg. To further secure the rail assembly and server in the cabinet, insert and tighten a small stabilizerscrew directly behind each bezel latchFigure 9 Installing the stabilizer screwsTask 3: Connecting cables to the VxRail applianceIMPORTANT: Refer to the VxRail Pre-installation Site Checklist as needed for the customer environment specifics. Do not power on the VxRail appliance until after you have confirmed the ToR switch configuration is complete.1. [ ] Plug the power cords into the power supplies and connect these cords to AC power sources.2. [ ] Attach the I/O cables as appropriate:•Connect the VxRail appliance to a single ToR switchTask 4: Connecting to a single TOR switchIf you are using a single top-of-rack (TOR) switch, make the network connections as shown.Each of the four nodes in a VxRail appliance has two network ports.Figure 10 Single ToR Switch with SFP+ network connectionsFigure 11 Single ToR Switch with RJ45 network connections1. [ ] Connect each port on a node to the configured ports on the TOR switch.Note: Work with the customer and refer to the VxRail Pre-installation Site Checklist as needed for the port assignments on the ToR Switch. Plugging into any available port does not guarantee network connectivity.Figure 1 SFP+ Twinax 10GbE Network portsFigure 2 RJ45 10GbE Network ports2. [ ] Connect the management PC to a port on the switch, or to a VLAN that can access theappliance.When connecting the management PC, the key take-away is that you must have network connectivity from the management PC to the VxRail Appliance default IP address of 192.168.10.200.CAUTION: Do not power on the VxRail appliance until after you have confirmed the TOR switch configuration is complete. Refer to the VxRail Networking Guide for switch protocol requirements. Refer to the ToR switch vendor documentation for configuration instructions.Task 5: Before powering on VxRailDo not power on your VxRail until you have completed the following tasks:•Properly install the appliance in a cabinet.•Connect the VxRail NIC ports to one or more TOR switches.•Verified with the customer that the TOR switch and supporting network are configured according to the VxRail Networking Guide, including:•Reserved, non-conflicting IP addresses•Configured IPv4 and IPv6 multicast•Disabled Link Aggregation on ToR switch (LACP/EtherChannel)•Configured network services such as DNS•Connect your management PC to the TOR switch.Task 6: Powering on the applianceTurn the appliance on by selecting the power button for each node as illustrated in the following table.After powering on a node wait at least 30 seconds before powering up the next node. This avoids conflicts between the nodes during power up and ensure that all nodes can be discovered.1. [ ] Power up one node at a time in the following sequence:a. Node 4b. Node 3c. Node 2d. Node 12. [ ] Verify the fans are operational and no amber fault lights appear. Refer to the following table forLED indicator light status.Using the VxRail BMC interfaceBefore you beginFollow these precautions before using the VxRail appliance BMC Web and remote console. CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines can cause VxRail to operate incorrectly, and can cause data loss.•Do not power cycle the appliance using the BMC interface. VxRail centrally manages all of the nodes in the appliance. You must follow the proper procedure to gracefully shut down and start up theVxRail appliance. A hard power cycle through the BMC interface, without interfacing with VxRail, may leave the appliance in an unknown state that could have negative consequences such as dataunavailability or data loss.•Only configure the BMC LAN settings. Do not modify any other BIOS or BMC settings in any way.•Do not upgrade the BIOS or BMC firmware. Configuration changes or version mismatches will cause VxRail to stop operating.•Use the BMC Web console and remote console solely for read-only monitoring.About the VxRail BMC interfaceVxRail offers a baseboard management controller (BMC) interface for monitoring the physical state of the appliance through an independent connection. The VxRail BMC port is an interface that provides access through a LAN or Internet connection.The BMC on the appliance node can support a dedicated port or a shared port. A dedicated BMC port is required because the 10Gb ports are reserved exclusively for VxRail.Figure 3 SFP+ NodeFigure 4 RJ45 NodeYou can access the BIOS/BMC through either a locally attached VGA monitor and keyboard or a remote session if the BMC port is assigned a known IP address. Use a locally attached VGA monitor and keyboard to discover the BMC port configuration if the IP address is not known.Task 7: Accessing BIOS from a local consoleBefore starting, be sure the VGA/keyboard is properly connected to the appliance node.1. [ ] During the power-on self-test (POST), press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup.Figure 5 Press F2 to enter BIOS2. [ ] When prompted for a password, enteremcbiosTask 8: Identifying the BMC LAN Port configuration in BIOSVerify the BMC interface is set to a dedicated port.1. [ ] On the BIOS main screen, navigate to Server Mgmt > BMC network Configuration.2. [ ] Look at the entry for “Current BMC LAN Port State”. The setting should be “Dedicated-NIC”.Figure 6 BMC LAN Port Configuration3. [ ] Select “BMC LAN Port Configuration” to modify this setting to “Dedicated-NIC”, if necessar y.4. [ ] Be sure the Ethernet cable is positioned in the dedicated port on the appliance node.Task 9: Identifying the BMC DHCP addressIf the VxRail BMC port has been assigned an address by the DHCP server, use this procedure to find the IP address using a locally attached VGA display and keyboard.1. [ ] On the BIOS main screen, navigate to Server Mgmt > BMC network Configuration.2. [ ] Look for the “Station IP a ddress” in the BMC LAN configuration section. The following exampleshows the assigned IP address for the dedicated BMC port is 192.168.101.49.Figure 7 BMC LAN Configuration using DHCPTask 10: Configuring the BMC LAN Static IP AddressIn the event that a DHCP server is not available on the network segment that the VxRail appliance is connected to, the following instructions describe how to configure a static BMC LAN IP Address.1. [ ] On the BIOS main screen, navigate to Server Mgmt > BMC network Configuration.2. [ ] Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, select “Configuration Address Source”.3. [ ] Press the <Enter> key to select.4. [ ] Using the arrow keys, ch ange the selection to “Static on next reset”.5. [ ] Press <Enter> to make the selection.6. [ ] Configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway according to the customer’snetwork requirements.7. [ ] Press F10 to save changes and exit the BIOS.8. [ ] Repeat for each additional node in the appliance or cluster if more than one appliance is present.Figure 8 Setting Static IP address for BMC portTask 11: Accessing the BMC Web consoleOnce the BMC port settings are correctly configured in BIOS, a web session can be initiated to BMC with a browser.•The BMC web console uses secure HTTP (HTTPS) for connectivity. Be sure to use a browser that support a cipher strength of at least 128-bit encryption.•To use the remote console (KVM) window from the BMC web console, Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed.1. [ ] Use your Web browser to navigate to the BMC port IP address.For example:http://192.168.103.52. [ ] Log into the BMC Web console by entering the following username and password:Username: adminPassword: adminFigure 9 BMC Web Console LoginNote: Be sure to comply with the “Required Browser Settings” before initiating a web session.Figure 10 BMC DashboardTask 12: Using the BMC Web console to launch the remote console1. [ ] Navigate to Remote Control > Console RedirectionFigure 11 Starting Remote Console from BMC Web Sessiona. When you click “Java Console ”, a window is displayed to download the Java Network Launch Protocol,(jviewer.jnlp) file. This in turn downloads the standalone Java application implementing the remote console.Figure 12 Launch Java ConsoleFigure 13 Launch Java ViewerNote: The remote console window is a Java Applet that establishes TCP connections to the Integrated BMC Web console. The protocol used to run these connections is a unique KVM protocol and not HTTP or HTTPS. This protocol uses ports 7578 for KVM, 5120 for CDROM media redirection, and 5123 for Floppy/USB media redirection. Your local network environment must permit these connections to be made. Your firewall and, if you have a private internal network, your NAT (network address translation) settings must be configured accordingly.Figure 14 Remote Console with Java ViewerTask 13: Using the BMC Web console to control server powerActivities in the BMC web console must be limited as to not impact the operations of the VxRail appliance. The BMC web console can be used to remotely control power to an appliance node if necessary.1. [ ] From the BMC dashboard, navigate to Remote Control > Server Power ControlFigure 15 Power Control in BMC DashboardConfiguring VxRail for the First timeTask 14: Configuring VxRail for the first timeConnect your management PC or laptop to a powered on VxRail appliance to begin initial configuration. IMPORTANT: The VxRail Pre-Installation Site Checklist includes the entries for all of the customer configuration details to be applied to the VxRail appliance. Be sure you have access to this spreadsheet before continuing to configure the VxRail appliance.1. [ ] Before you proceed with the initial configuration of the new VxRail appliance:a. Configure the PC you are using to connect to an address on the same subnet as the VxRailappliance (default is 192.168.10.x/24).b.

Make sure these tasks are complete before performing the procedure.Read, understand, and perform these tasks1. [ ] Table 1 lists tasks, cautions, warnings, notes, knowledgebase (KB) solutions, and Top 10 ServiceTopics that you need to be aware of before performing this activity. Read, understand, and when necessary perform any tasks contained in this table and any tasks contained in any associatedknowledgebase solution.Table 1 List of cautions, warnings, notes, KB solutions, and Top 10 Service Topics for thisactivityService Provider, Project Information and Customer Contact formThis form is automatically populated based on the information that is provided in the VxRail® Procedure Generator questionnaire prior to generating the procedure. This information is collected and used for reference purposes when referring back to this procedure at a later date and time.Section 2:Section 3:VxRail Reset ProcedureThese instructions describe how to reset the VxRail Appliance using the Factory Reset Script which returns the appliance to a first run state but leaves the underlying software load unchanged. The reset script can be executed in the field by a VxRail Appliance reseller, distributor, or EMC CSE.Use this process to reset between demonstrations or moves between customer sites for evaluation.The reset script takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, however if there are environmental problems (network connectivity, i.e.) it can fail.The unit must be in an otherwise healthy state, connected to the network and functioning for the reset script to be used.Attention:The reset script tool will wipe all data and defined User VMs from the appliance. If the customer wants to keep their data or VMs, they must back them up prior to running the tool.Always use the latest VxRail Reset tool for the factory reset function based on your model of VxRail. Warnings and Disclaimers•Reset destroys all virtual machines and datastores in your VxRail Cluster. VMs on mounted datastores that you don’t want the reset to delete should be unregistered.prior to executing the reset.The process cannot be interrupted and there are no data recovery options available once the Reset starts.•The Reset script and documentation may only be utilized by properly trained personnel.•The Reset script and documentation are only available to properly trained engineering, support, and sales organizations.•The Reset script and documentation must not be provided to anyone who is identified as a direct end-user of a VxRail product.•The Reset script and documentation must be removed from the customer’s appliance and premises after Reset is performed by qualified personnel.Note: Reset script 4.0.100 is required for all VxRail appliances with Release 4.0.100 software. Intended Audience:This procedure is intended to be used by QEP Distribution Partners and VARs performing POC demos. This Procedure is not to be used on production systems!Materials Required:From the website, download the reset package:•File Name: v4.0.100_reset.zip•MD5Sum: 966d86f7ef0b9b02445bcb06eb263dcbWARNING: This procedure deletes all data on the system. It should never be used on a production system.Reset ProcedureReset restores an appliance to factory settings. It uses the original software images and the factory-created backup file to restore your appliance:/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/images,/vmfs/volumes/<service_datastore>/reset/configBundle.tgzPrerequisites• A workstation/laptop with a web browser is required. It must be either plugged into the 10GbE switch or able to logically reach the VxRail management VLAN on the 10GbE switch.Note: This PC must be able to access both the pre-reset and post-reset VLANs and IP Addresses. •The VxRail appliance must have all software images and the configBundle.tgz file on the service datastore.•The document assumes you are familiar with the VxRail Setup Guide, the VxRail Product Guide, vSphere Web Client usage, and ESXi usage (DCUI/CLI).•All ESXi hosts must have the same version of both the ESXi and VxRail VIB on them. Preparing for ResetWARNING: To prevent a possible issue with the decompression of the software bundle, EMC recommends that the upgrade bundle is decompressed using a 3rd party decompression utilitysuch as WinZip. Windows Explorer decompression may have difficulty handling large files resulting in file corruption.1. [ ] Download reset bundle v4.0.100_reset.zip from the EMC Support Zone website to VxRailworkstation/laptop.Note: All files can be found in bundle with name v4.0.100_reset.zip from the VxRail Support page on https:///downloads. EMC Highly recommends that all files be verified using the md5 sum for each ova file to ensure integrity.2. [ ] On the VxRail workstation/laptop, uncompress it into a folder that you can browse, such asC:\reset or /tmp/reset. This archive contains:•Reset script: consisting of two python scripts: reset.pyc and gen_ovfenv.pyc •reset.pyc is in the package reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip.•You should uncompress it first in order to get the reset script.•The v4.0.100_reset.zip bundle contains three files:•reset_4.0.100-4907696.zip•Python-2.7.8.msi•VMware-viclient-all-6.0.0-3562874.exe•Python libraries: pyVim and pyVMomiPython 2.7 is required for Reset. Python 2.6 will fail. If necessary, python 2.7.8 is recommended and includes the install exe for installation on your VxRail Management workstation/laptop.The Reset script is backwards compatible with all versions of VxRail so users should update to the latest version of the reset script. If previous versions of Python are installed on the managementworkstation, those versions should be uninstalled first and Python v2.7 installed.3. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.4. [ ] (Optional) In the vSphere Web Client, go to the Marvin-Virtual-SAN-Datastore. Click on Manageand then Files. Delete the ISO and UPGRADE directories. DO NOT delete any directories named witha UUID.5. [ ] For each VxRail host in the VxRail cluster, identify the IP address assigned to the factory-createdVMkernel management interface (vmk0) in one of the following ways:a. The IP address is displayed in the vSphere Web Client (use vcserver to locate the networkinformation for the VMkernel adapter on each ESXi host)orb. The IP address is displayed in DCUI (console user interface for ESXi)orc. ssh into each ESXi host (or connect a console or monitor via BMC) and run the esxcli networkip interface ipv4 get command on each host. The username is root. Use the password for the ESXi hosts that was set during VxRail Initial Configuration. (For an un-configured VxRail appliance, the password is Passw0rd!) The output will be similar to what is shown below:esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get | grep "vmk0"vmk0 MARVIN Management IPv4 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.25500:25:90:eb:bc:0a 1500 65535 true STATICOn an un-configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are either assigned by DHCP (if it was available in your network) or configured as IPv4 link-local addresses (starting with 169.254.x.y). On a configured VxRail appliance, ESXi IP addresses are specified by the user who set up the appliance.6. [ ] Fill in the IPv4 address of each ESXi host in the cluster (use additional space if there is more thanone appliance in a cluster):Host IPv4 AddressESXi host on node 1ESXi host on node 2ESXi host on node 3ESXi host on node 47. [ ] From the VxRail workstation/laptop, verify that you can ping each IPv4 addressNote: If you cannot access a host, try power-cycling the node first.8. [ ] Use vSphere Client to login vCenter Server to check current Management VLAN as below:Figure 1 Example: the management VLAN ID in this appliance is 117Note: If you cannot access vCenter Server, you will have to ask the customer for the management VLAN ID.Running ResetReset is run from the VxRail workstation/laptop, using the options described in the Reset Command Options section. Before running Reset, be sure to read the section on Best Practices and Troubleshooting so that you can use the Reset script correctly.Note: Using the --vlan option for Reset is recommended even if current management VLAN is not set ( in this case, use 0 for VLAN ID). It will modify the management VLAN ID saved in configBundle first before actually using the configBundle. It simplifies initial setup because the management VLAN ID is configured on all 4 ESXi hosts. Likewise, the --initialIpAddress,--initialSubnet, and --initialGateway options also simplify initial setup.Another benefit comes when a VxRail appliance is reset and remains in the same environment (I.e. It is not relocated to another network). In this case, retaining the management VLAN ID and initial IP information during a reset permits the VxRail Manager workstation/laptop to remain set for the correct VLAN and IP. If these options are not used, the instructions in the VxRail SetupGuide can be followed at a later time.If the VLAN option is not used, no changes will be made to the Management VLAN settings. It will remain exactly as previously set.All appliances and nodes in a VxRail cluster should be reset if one appliance or node needs to be reset. Use the following procedure:•If you have more than one appliance in your VxRail cluster, reset each secondary appliance, one at a time. We recommend that the secondary appliances be reset in the order in which they were added to the cluster. Power off all nodes after each appliance is reset.•If you only have one appliance in the VxRail cluster, or when you have finished resetting and shutting down all secondary appliances, reset the primary appliance.Example using Reset on Windows1. [ ] To reset the appliance use the following command:Example:C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -d --destroyAllVMs -f <IPv4_node1> -a <IPv4_node2> -a <IPv4_node3> -a <IPv4_node4> --vlan <vlan_id>[ --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr> --initialSubnet=<init_netmask>--initialGateway=<init_gateway> ]After ResetNote: The password is now Passw0rd! for all ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, and VxRail Manager.1. [ ] For VxRail appliances connected to an External vCenter, manually remove thecluster/VDS/management accounts in the External vCenter.2. [ ] Point a browser to the VxRail Manager user interface to begin VxRail initial configuration followingthe instructions in “VxRail Initial Configuration” in the VxRail Setup Guide. The location is one of the following:<init_IPaddr>specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option supplied to Resetorhttps://192.168.10.200, the default value for ResetIf you cannot reach VxRail at one of these IP addresses after Reset, follow the instructions in AppendixA to configure another initial IP address.Reset Command OptionsBest Practices and TroubleshootingResetting Clusters with Multiple AppliancesIf you want to restore a multi-appliance VxRail cluster:After performing initial configuration on the primary appliance in the VxRail cluster, power on and configure each secondary appliance, one at a time. The primary appliance will discover each secondary appliance when it is powered on. Then you will add it to the cluster before continuing with the next secondary appliance. For more information, including configuring the Management VLAN, see the VxRail Setup Guide, “Adding Appli ances to a VxRail Cluster”.If you want to separate the appliances into multiple VxRail clusters:When you run Reset on each appliance, assign a unique <init_IPaddr> with the ‘--initialIpAddress’option. Then point your browser to each <init_IPaddr> and run VxRail initial configuration to create separate VxRail clusters.Reset Output: Example output of Successful reset:Reset succeeds with INFO and WARNING output similar to the following:c:\Python27\python.exe reset.py -d --destroyAllVMs -f 10.10.10.11 --initialIpAddress=10.10.10.250 --initialSubnet=255.255.254.0--initialGateway=10.10.10.253 -a 10.10.10.12 -a 10.10.10.13 -a 10.10.10.14 Post-configuration Password:INFO Primary node supplied: 10.10.10.11 INFO Secondary node supplied:10.10.10.12 INFO Secondary node supplied: 10.10.10.13 INFO Secondary nodesupplied: 10.10.10.14INFO MARVIN VIB 3.x discovered on hostsVxRail 3.x WARNING================================================WARNING THE FOLLOWING ARE THE CURRENTLY REGISTERED VIRTUAL MACHINES:WARNING ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight'] WARNING CONTINUING WILL DESTROY ALL VIRTUAL MACHINES REGISTERED WITH THE APPLIANCE.CONFIRM (YES/NO): YESWARNING DESTROYING ALL VMs ON 10.10.10.11: ['VMware vCenter Server Appliance', 'VxRail Manager', 'VMware vRealize Log Insight']…INFO Host 10.10.10.11 has VMs [] remaining.

If it does not complete successfully on all nodes in an appliance, it can be rerun just on the node(s) that did not reset properly.Infrequently, Reset can report a failure but eventually succeed. This can happen if an ESXi host takes longer to reboot than the 720-second timeout in Reset. The ESXi node can still continue to boot and it may finally succeed. You can determine whether or not an ESXi host was successfully reset by attempting to login in via ssh or DCUI. The password should have been reset to Passw0rd!If you cannot login with this default password, the host was NOT reset properly. Run Reset again only on the host that did not boot successfully.Another reason that Reset could fail is if the IPv4 address for vmk0 does not match the information saved in configBundle.tgz. This would happen if ESXi was assigned a static IP address instead of link-local DHCP after configBundle.tgz was created, but before initial configuration. The failure message displayed would indicate failure to connect to all hosts.Usin g the ‘--onlyRegeneratePrimary’ option will quickly redeploy the service VMs.Note: Since you have already reset the appliance, the default password, Passw0rd!, must be used instead of your original password.C:\Python27\python.exe c:\reset\reset.pyc -f <IPv4_node1>--onlyRegeneratePrimary --initialIpAddress=<init_IPaddr>--initialSubnet=<init_netmask> --initialGateway=<init_gateway>The reasons that Reset can fail include the following:•Failing to connect to or locate a specified ESXi host•Using an invalid IPv4 address as Reset command options•Having a proxy server configured on the VxRail workstation/laptop•Failing to deploy the Log Insight VM or VxRail Manager•Still failing after several automatic retriesKnown IssuesIf you have a typo on the Reset command line, such as using a space instead of ‘=’ in the option/value pairs that require one (--initialIpAddress, --initialSubnet, --initialGateway), all 3 options will be ignored. (e.g--initialIpAddress=10.10.10.200 is correct; --initialIpAddress 10.10.10.200 is incorrect) If Reset otherwise succeeds, you can follow the instructions in Appendix A to set the initial IP address.Appendix A: VxRail Appliances with a Custom Initial IP address WARNING: The following steps are to configure a custom IP address for initial access to VxRail if you cannot use the <init_IPaddr> specified in the ‘--initialIpAddress’ option or the default IP address, 192.168.10.200.Note: You are setting the IP address for the VxRail Manager in Release 4.0.1. [ ] Connect the vSphere (C#) Client to the IP address of ESXi host 1 using the root user and thepassword that Reset configured during ESXi software installation, Passw0rd!2. [ ] Click the Virtual Machines tab and select “VxRail Manager”. The VM should already be poweredon. If not, click the green play button to power it on and wait for it to boot.3.

它最初是由英特尔公司在1998年2⽉17⽇的英特尔开发者论坛（IDF）宣布，⾃那时以来，在⾏业内⼴泛的蔓延，成为了标准。
Iometer包括2个程序，Iometer.exe和Dynamo.exe。
其中Iometer是控制程序，是图形界⾯，让你轻松的调节参数和显⽰测试结果，⽽Dynamo就是让测试盘产⽣压⼒测试的主程序了，⽤Iometer来控制Dynamo程序。
在Windows下运⾏Iometer时，会⾃动打开Dynamo程序。
测试⼯具版本为iometer-1.1.0-win64.x86_64-bin。
1.2.测试环境介绍环境中数据库以虚拟机⽅式运⾏在VMware虚拟化环境中，拓扑结构如下：... ...EMC VxRAIL其中VxRail 超融合设备内置4个服务器节点，每个节点配置1块800GBSSD 盘和5块2TBSATA 盘，共4块800GBSSD 盘和20块2TBSATA 盘。
针对超融合架构，我们在每个节点部署2个Windows 2008R2虚机，并安装 IOmeter 软件，测试的虚拟机配置2×4颗处理器核⼼，32GB 内存和80GB 系统盘，100GB 数据盘。
本次测试针对该虚拟机数据盘磁盘⽂件进⾏性能测试。
利⽤IOmeter ⽣成特定负载，在 VxRailManager 观察系统负载情况，并收集 IOmeter 详细结果。
1.3. 测试项⽬1.4.测试参数设置本次测试使⽤8个CPU核⼼，对应图中Topology栏内Worker1-8，对所有Worker均设置相同参数；DiskTargets栏中选择相应磁盘（这⾥选择E:，图中标⽰有误），MaximumDiskSize保持默认为0（图中标⽰有误），其他参数均保持为默认；AccessSpecifications栏中指定IO类型，其中测试⼀和测试⼆已有现成的对应规则，测试三需要编辑修改Default规则；点击编辑进⼊规则编辑页⾯，将TransferRequestSize设置为8KB，其他保持不变，该IO类型即为Oracle数据库IO类型；ResultDisplay栏中UpdateFrequency保持默认5s采集⼀次数据；TestSetup栏中RunTime设置为5分钟；2.测试结果（详细结果见《EMC VxRail 性能测试详细结果》）测试⼀：最⼤IO处理能⼒测试四：常规应⽤顺序读：测试五：常规应⽤随机读：测试六：常规应⽤顺序写2.1.供参考数据。
